In reply to the discussion: A breach of trust (in our home)...(Update) [View all]Glamrock
(12,003 posts)6. Damn doc....
That's horrible. But you asked so hear goes. You absolutely should be angrier. A) You already overpaid him. B) He broke your trust, as you said. C) Your wife's feelings are the crux of the issue for me. Trust broken with her is far more serious, IMO. Men, in general have the testosterone necessary to believe they can take care of themselves. But, your wife is obviously frightened for her own safety in her own home. That's a bridge too far brother. Throw the book at him. This dude may be worse than you know. And if he goes to jail, her load will be lessened if you get my drift.
I'm really sorry to hear this.

Your story reminds me of the Columbine murderers. Something very similar happened with that

You don't want your bleeding heart to result in the guy getting off and preying on other people.

Unless you are declaring that poster a right wing troll, I'd say an apology is in order.
